Know Me 2016

by almondrockon April 1, 2025April 1, 2025Leave a Comment on Know Me 2016

Yep, I finally tried ME2016, the dress made by thousands and rather beloved by the sewing community.

Would you let a stranger choose your next sewing project? That’s what happened to me in December as Kris from @unsewcial set us a festive Instagram challenge where we secretly picked a sewing project for another maker with a mood board of pattern and fabric suggestions.
